Jiji Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 9 months after. Judy/Trudy got slapped HARD. That was ridiculous. Oh, excuse me, Sullivan slapped her "haaaahd." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Ray Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 It was so horrible, they replayed it twice. Seeing Luna like that makes me think she could have stunt double for the Zucker Brothers mom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellsworth Toohey Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 1) According to Google, there actually was a magazine called "Sports Review: Wrestling" in the early 1980s. 2) Did not know that was Luna. She looks about 40 years old there, though the hair style doesn't help much. 3) I really can't tell if that slap was supposed to be as stiff as it was. Either Luna was one hell of an actress or she was really shaken up there. (Though given stories of how crazy Luna and her father were, it would not surprise me if she told Kevin to lay into her before they shot the angle). 4) Shows had bad things were when BJ Mulligan is the lead face, and he would bolt for the WWF not long after this. Was this when Scott McGhee was getting a huge push? 5) I'll give credit to Bob Roop for being a trooper. I doubt when he was at the 1968 Olympics he envisioned spending his twilight years with half his hair shaved off and foaming at the mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydneybrown Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Sports Review Wrestling was the C-team Apter mag (PWI being A, Inside Wrestling & The Wrestler being B.) Technically here they just called it Sports Review to not "quite" link them in. Luna kinda botches her role by changing the name of the award during the presentation. I think Luna's hair was intentionally shitty, since somewhere after this, she ended up joining Sullivan and shaving half her hair off. And this angle has nothing on the Freebirds telling Mike Graham that his dad was a loser right after Eddie Graham killed himself, then attacking and bloodying him.

Ellsworth Toohey Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 At least when WWE does an angle where Michael Cole is being told something by the guys in the production truck, they pretend that he was told it during the commercial break, rather than interrupt Cole and Lawler as they're setting up the next match/skit.
